NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
U.S. stock futures were softer ahead of the opening bell, with the S&P 500 contract down 0.3%.
With meetings at the White House between congressional leaders and President Obama failing to produce a breakthrough, the federal government shutdown has entered its third day.
More troubling for Wall Street is the risk that the political stalemate could prevent a raising of the debt ceiling, meaning the government may not be able to pay all its bills later this month.
Despite the shutdown, the U.S. is set to release its weekly report on initial jobless claims at 8:30 a.m. ET Thursday. The Census Bureau will release its monthly report on factory orders at 10:00.

U.S. stocks fell slightly on Wednesday. All three major indexes closed with modest losses, pulling back from steeper drops in morning trading.
Asian markets ended mixed. Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 0.9%, buoyed by data that showed China's services sector is continuing to gain strength. Shanghai's exchange remained closed for a holiday. In Japan, the Nikkei closed 0.1% lower.
European markets also found early support from the Chinese data but worries about the U.S. weighed on sentiment, and major indexes were mixed mid-morning.
